Twitter: Sean Lee doesn't sound ready to retire

[Risen Star]

Sean Lee does not sound ready to walk away as a player to become a coach just yet. “You kind of go back and forth on things at times as you get older,” he said. “But the problem is anytime I go on the field and I get to play and you make a couple of plays, you’re like, ‘Well, I like this too much.’ And that is my problem: I love this game too much. I love this organization a lot. And I love playing and I love playing the position, linebacker. I joke to my wife that I’m addicted to it at times.”

Most of these players have been doing this since pee wee football and then conditioned for years once coaches realized they had something special to make it their career. I'm sure it's tough to hang it up. He should probably be listening to his body, had brains to be one of the best LBs of the last decade, but his body just couldn't sustain full seasons.

Hmmm......we may have to retire him instead of waiting (lol)

He is by a mile the best LB on this team.

Four years in college (We Are Penn Penn State) & eleven playing in the pros will do that to any player. Lee even offered a cut in pay.

Nothing but class combined w/greatness!

His body retired a couple of years ago. Maybe he has 1 good year left in him.

Four years in college (We Are Penn Penn State) & eleven playing in the pros. I doubt your body would last even 4 years. Lee even offered a cut in pay.

From body of work. But right now he's in the same boat.

I get that Lee is old. I get that he has been hurt. When you compare him to the weekly clown show of Sunglasses Hut and the Wolf Whiffer he is better.

At least he puts in effort and tries to tackle.

No question.....love to have him back but much more can his body take

This needs to merge with @Hawkeye0202 's thread.

 

[Aviano90]

Why wouldn’t he want to get paid millions of dollars to be in street clothes while injured?

I did see some plays where he look lost and gave up.

Lee bleeds Cowboy blue.

How could you not love someone like that?

…..to keep the Board in peace

Lee's body will make the decision for him.

Good player, could have been one of the greats but always injured.

Yup.
